December 18, 200817 yr comment_54179 Another thing going unnoticed about Manning is that this year he has developed nicely into a very solid nickel back. I believe Manning has had a difficult time comprehending how complicated the BEARS defense is compared to the one he played in college. Appears to me after a couple of years he now understands what's going on. From all reports he's not the brightest guy on the BEARS. I'm glad he's finally making progress on D and has also been a better kick returner this yr than Hester. Report
December 18, 200817 yr comment_54182 Beat me to it, BearSox. Since Manning has been getting some playing time, he's been very good in the nickel. Report
December 18, 200817 yr Author comment_54186 I would agree that I have seen an improvement in his defensive play especially after he started getting confidence due to his success in the kick return game. Report
